Advocacy

Advocating for ADIA members while promoting the value of data, insights and research to government and regulatory bodies is a priority for ADIA.

We address legislative and regulatory issues that affect the industry by making our position known on policies, reviews and other government initiatives.

ADIA is actively engaged and lobbying on the issues that matter:

• Privacy and data protection: The Australian Privacy Act Review
• Multi-enterprise Agreement: Negotiations regarding the UWU-ADIA Market Research Industry Agreement 2022-26.
• Access: Integrated public number database (IPND), the Do Not Call Register and
  the Call-blocking issue
